I always devise a background so that it makes what your character goes through logical and keeps up the continuity.

My first trip abroad was to do a TV version of "Les Miserables" in France with Anthony Perkins. There I was at 12 acting with the guy from Psycho (1960). My parents were teachers, and it was hard for them to relate to that world.

I love walking along Leiths waterfront and wandering around some of New Towns beautiful streets and squares, with their gorgeous Georgian architecture.

As an older and wiser man, I don't believe in luck. I believe in hard work and talent and determination.

I left school with no qualifications, but I was doing theatre and film work and thought that was the best thing since sliced bread.

I do love making films. I want to be a filmmaker that grows and progresses and does keep trying to push myself. I think that's it... and a bit of confidence maybe.
